Australian hero pilot Dominic James saves six in emergency sea landing

Here we have another reminder of how skilled aeroplane pilots are. A hearty well done to this chap for doing his level best to avert disaster and saving the lives of all 6 of his passengers. A story that highlights the best in people - determination, skill, bravery and calmness. Something that we can be appreciative of and which, best of all, has a happy ending.

About Me

A fan of all things vintage (say, roughly, the period 1875-1950 - but
particularly the '20s and '30s), including steam/dieselpunk,
retro-futurism, motor cars, aeroplanes, steam locomotives, fashion,
jazz, film and culture. Just looking to brighten people's days with the
odd jolly story. Pip-pip!
